Is this historically accurate?

Is this historically accurate?

Please.

>300
>there's only like 25-30 of them
???

to some extent, yes

its based on the comic by frank miller. You should watch 300 Spartans instead (although not much more accurate)

No, the whole so called "real" battle that 300 seems to based on is pure propaganda

no, that is autistic kino

Yes pretty much (ignoring the monsters and wizards) even some of the dialogue are direct quotes

Yes, I was there.

cba sources but some VERY general points from te top of my head
>Spartans were famous for their discipline and fought in stric battle formations (like in the movie, except they din't break it for slo-mo fights)
>Spartans didn't make a sound during battle, another feared trait of them
>They wore armor
>The 300 battle probably took place, but most likely it's very exaggerated
>Spartans had one job: Warrior (used slaves called Helots for farming etc)
>Instead of a tiger a spartans right of passage was to kill a helot (might be inaccurate/disbanded in times of unrest)
>Spartan children grew up in an extremly tought warrior culture, very hard life from early on , like shown in the movie
>Spartans were the most feared warriors in anicent greece, but still in the real world skills only get you so far against a vastly superior opponents (unless they fuckup)

The movie is not supposed to be realistic, it is the story the one eyed spartan warrior tells the other spartans before battle.

Is it true spartans had to live horrible brutal lives to be 10/10 soldiers but the rest of greece had 9/10 soldiers so it didn't count for much?

Thermopylae was spartan propaganda. No one ever mentions the other greeks who volunteered to stay with the spartans (about a thousand of them or some shit) and lay down their lives to stop the Persians.

>>Instead of a tiger a spartans right of passage was to kill a helot (might be inaccurate/disbanded in times of unrest)
This so should have been in the movie.

The sequel was pretty good, the way the Spartans arrive at the end is fucking badass.

Spartans were pretty much commies so it's pretty fun to see all that freedom speech

I kinda wish Troy was realistic. The greatest story ever told actually revolves around a tiny city that could hold ~6000 people.

>troy
>tiny
im pretty sure it was a powerful city state with allies and shit

Yeah it was definitely one of the first great wars. It was a ton of hellenic tribes versus a ton of anatolian tribes

The narrator is telling the story to the army of Spartans to hype them up for the coming battle. Its pretty clear that he has embellished the story.

>getting triggered about communism and not them literally keeping slave

Historybuffs made a video about it and said that overall it's accurate.

No, but its ideologically accurate. It is exactly how the Hellenic peoples viewed aand depicted the Persians.

mind is blown nigger. movie just became kino

no, most city states only had provisional armies

Gideon's 300 ripoff

look it up mate. I was disappointed as well. The actual citadell aka the part of troy within the 'great trojan wall' had a capacity for ~1000 people.
It was all blown out of proportion by hollywood but for back then this was a huge deal.
